Quick Fixes
An IKU™ membership is not a quick fix. Look at it as a journey that involves everything related to staying safe and progressing while making sure the proper foundations are there. It’s not just Kettlebells either.
An example of how communication, direction, change, and education occur during the process.
Member 1
Thanks Taco. For the understanding of the group, I have a lower back issue which is preventing me from doing the Windmill let alone the Bent Press. It’s been an ongoing issue for years but has become more prevalent in the past six months, and I clearly need to focus on correcting an imbalance.
I reached out to Taco to suggest it might be best if I removed myself from the group, simply because I couldn’t contribute. he gave that suggestion a resounding 👎🏼 and instead suggested a path of corrective exercises in the wider scope of addressing the imbalance. and here we are 🙏🏼.
Member 2
It was the same for me a couple of months ago during the Sots Press challenge, I realized I was out of my depth so publicly backed out. Taco suggested working on the basic squat within the group which I am pleased to say I did with amazing results, looking forward to seeing your progress, we are all on a journey together, and some got a head start. 🤜🤛
Member 1 is now making progress with a bodyweight mobility routine that we put together after discussion and we’ll be adding to the routine. At some stage, member 1 will be ready for the next of the progression. The point is, an IKU™ Membership is about getting YOU to the next level of your training, whether that means taking a step back and fixing the foundation or adding to what you know, we will provide it.
Member 2 has gone from not being able to properly squat to squatting deep and with near-perfect form and technique. Now the squat can be loaded with weight and progress can be made with strength.
Skeptical About Online Kettlebell Coaching?
Chris Peter: This bent press camp has changed my mind about online coaching. I was sceptical before this but now I am all in.
Taco Fleur: Can you tell me what part you were skeptical about?
Chris Peter: Well, kettlebells as you know are very difficult to learn. I didn’t think that you would be able to diagnose and fix all my problems from just a video and I didn’t think I would be able to learn from a video as well, but now I know that’s completely wrong. I thought that had to be done in person but I am also very uneducated in the training world.
But I also enjoy the group aspect a lot more than I thought I would. You provide a great online experience and I saved a lot of the videos you have posted and will get to them eventually.

Training and Membership Testimonials
“Embarrassment is the cost of entry. If you aren’t willing to look like a foolish beginner, you’ll never become a graceful master.” This is such a great quote that applies to our online coaching services. Experience has shown that a lot of people find it difficult to break the barrier of showing up in the form of filming themselves for fear of looking foolish. Once they break through, they transform their lives and training.
Really enjoying this, looking forward to workouts each day and feeling good. As an aside back stiffness seems to have gone with the mobility and kettlebell training
Thanks for such a supportive community and a great start to using kettlebells!

I am a 72-year-old Pilates Instructor and I have just finished a three-day Kettlebell Course with Taco Fleur. This is absolutely the best Course that I have ever done; easy to understand, lots of useful information with Taco and his Assistant Anna always ready to help you out with any difficulties and help you to execute the exercises correctly. Full worth the money I put in. I highly recommend Taco Fleur as an expert Coach for anyone wishing to improve their Kettlebell technique and move on to the next level.

For many years I followed Taco’s you tube channel and gained so much from this extremely informative content. As I progressed during my kettlebell journey I enrolled onto Taco’s online courses and received 1:1 feedback on how to improve my technique, I would not pass a section until Taco had assessed everything as correct and up to the standards expected.
Moving on from this I have also joined Taco’s on-line group where the coaching is 1:1, excellent feedback provided from Taco and every part of the skill is broken down and analysed. Taco has helped me with swing (spotting a simple grip change), cleans and currently is coaching me through strength and sport routines.
Taco is passionate about kettlebells, passionate about correct technique, passionate about high decorum within his online channels and its members, and most passionate about coaching his students correctly. Pleasure being trained by Taco!!

I started my journey with KBs a couple of times, without significant progress, once I even managed to injury myself while doing exercises from YouTube. It’s only when I joined Taco Fleur sessions, started to film my trainings, thanks to the constant valuable feedback and attention (not to mention professionalism and passion) of Taco, I started to move forward. What’s really important for me – the instructor is helping to identify and reach the targets of the student. Highly recommend!

Hello from the UK! I’ve been a fan of your content for some time now, and love your training philosophy.
I am a busy dad and have previously got in training when and where, but not strictly followed the same program.
I’d yet to experience the famous ‘What the heck’ effect with kbs, but for the last 6 weeks, I have consistently been doing your ‘Pacemaker’ workout with just a 12kg (usually train with a 16 or 20).
Oh my word! I’ve noticed the difference and the fitness gains in just these six weekly sessions! My commute to work is a short cycle (7 miles) but with a huge hill for the last 1.5 miles. I’ve flown up it far quicker and my recovery time afterwards is vastly reduced. I shaved 1.5 mins off the return journey after being stuck around 25 minutes for ages (a big improvement that I clearly hadn’t gotten from repeating the cycle alone!).
I also went bouldering with a friend this evening after not going for a couple of months. Previously we had very similar abilities but my grip strength had come on so much that he couldn’t match me. I couldn’t believe it.
I just wanted to reach out to say thank you and say how blown away I was by doing this. And what’s more, I only did pacemaker ONCE A WEEK and still saw these gains.
